Thank you for the ping, MS.B!

major hanky alert

Thanks for that warning...screen got somewhat blurry :).

God Bless the young Marine and all the wonderful patriots who welcomed him home! Does my heart proud to see such sights these days! Thank you so much Chieftain for the wonderful pix and R Ex-h for being there. And, ET, that link had more wonderful pix, thank you for that!

Great pics...

A lot of people who “just don’t have time” to attend one of these homecomings or think maybe its going to be too sad or depressing....are really the ones who miss out!

It is always an uplifting experience personally and also the wonderful sense of community to be with all the patriotic strangers, AKA “my countrymen and women”.

God Bless Cpl. Southern....He served....He sacrificed...He survived and came home. Thanks can never be enough for what he has given. We can NEVER FORGET what he and so many like him have done and ARE DOING to defend our uniquely American way of life.
